17、p heavy ice. But in September, 2019， the ship set sail from Norway with the goal of getting frozen into the Arctic ice cap for a year. The mission （任务）was part of a 155 million project known as MOSAiC， led by Germanys Alfred Wegener Institute（AWI）， whose goal is to learn more about the ice that form
18、s near the North Pole. The ice cap here isnt completely solid, and its a collection of floes - floating sheets of ice. As summer approaches, some of the ice melts and many floes break free. By October, 2019， the ship was frozen into the Arctic ice north of Siberia. The mission wasnt without its chal
19、lenges. First and most importantly,the Polarstern had to find an ice floe that is used as its primary research base. The ice floe must be solid enough to anchor the ship and to support all the research equipment the scientists needed to use. However, doing it proved easier said than done. Once the s
20、hip was frozen in place, the scientists had to wrestle with the dangerous polar bears that were wandering around. Dealing with extreme cold was another challenge. They also had to face the long and dark polar night,a period during winter when the sun doesnt rise at all in the central Arctic. In Sept
21、ember, 2020， the boat finally returned to Bremerhaven, Germany. We are watching the Arctic sea ice die, said the missions leader,Markus Rex. The team reports that the ice shelf is full of holes, and that the ice that remains is thin and melting. Recent satellite measurements support that idea. The s
22、ize of this years ice cap is the second smallest ever recorded. Next comes the long process of studying all the data that was collected during the last year.

25、ential.C. Fruitful.D. Casual.DWhen a living thing gives off a glow（光），its called bioluminescence. Fireflies are a well- known example of bioluminescence. Many mushrooms are also bio-luminescent. Fireflies and other bio-luminescent creatures light up thanks to chemicals inside their bodies. These che
26、micals are known as luciferins （荧光素），which cause a chemical reaction that gives off light. Plants dont naturally have luciferins,so there are no naturally bio-luminescent plants. In the past, scientists created glowing plants by adding DNA from glowing bacteria. But the glowing effect was weak. They
27、 also created glowing plants by adding luciferins to plants. In 2017， a team at MIT was able to cause watercress plants to glow for about four hours. Now, researchers at a Russian company called Planta,working with scientists from the United Kingdom and Austria, have come up with a new method of cre
28、ating glowing plants which last as long as they are alive. The scientists focused on an acid that is found in both plants and mushrooms. By adding certain parts of the DNA from glowing mushrooms to ordinary tobacco plants, the scientists are able to create plants that can make their own luciferins u
29、sing this acid. The scientists report that the greenish light is about 10 times brighter than in earlier ones, which is strong enough to be easily recorded with an ordinary camera, but doesnt affect the health of the plants. Glowing plants reflect the way plants work. The scientists point out that t
30、he glowing isnt constant,but seems to change,depending upon what is happening inside the plants. Younger parts of the plants glow more strongly than older parts. The flowers glow especially brightly. Theyve noticed moving patterns of light in the plants, which they think may show activity in plants
31、that normally cant be seen. The glowing also helps uncover how plants may be affected by things around them. For example, the plants glow much more strongly when a ripe banana skin is nearby.12.

32、hy chemical reaction exists.D. Why some living things glow.13. How do tobacco plants produce luciferins？ _ A. By glowing constantly.B. By using an input chemical.C. By making glowing bacteria.D. By absorbing natural light.14. What does the author convey about glowing plants in the last paragraph？ _
